Abstract
New Brunswick Power Corporation's electrical generating system is well diversified with electrical power produced by a mix of hydro, fossil and nuclear generating plants. Recently, in developing aditional generating capacity, keeping a diversity of fuel options was key in New Brunswick Power Corporation's plans. The recently completed 450 megawatt (net) Belledune Generating Station which is currently fired on coal, includes boiler design provisions so that it could be converted to operate on bunker “C” or Orimulsion™ (Note 1).
